Week 38: 2016 June 4
Hat Trick. There are 4! = 24 ways the students can order themselves left to right. We have to multiply that by the number of ways they can wear the hats. Split this latter number up into the possibilities for their wearing four hats, three hats, or two hats. In the first case, there are five possible hats for the first person, four for the second, three for the third, and two for the last person, or 120 options. In the second case, there are four possible subsets of three people wearing hats, and then there are five possible hats for the first person, four for the second, and three for the third, for 240 options. And in the last case, there are six possible pairs of people to wear hats, and then there are five times four choices of hats, for another 120 options. Thus, there are 480 options for hat-wearing in all, times the 24 orders of the students, for a total of 11,520 possible pictures.
Possible Parabolas. The interior of a parabola (which can also be seen as the set of all points on the opposite side of the parabola from any tangent to the parabola) is what is known as a convex set: if P and Q are two points in the interior, then the entire line segment PQ lies in the interior. (The accompanying diagram illustrates this.) This fact immediately tells us that the entire triangle (and its interior) defined by points A, B, and C lies in the interior of any parabola through A, B, and C. On the other hand, if we put different coordinate axes on the plane containing A, B, and C, as long as the y-axis is not parallel to any side of the triangle, we can use quadratic interpolation to find a parabola through all three points with central axis parallel to the chosen y-axis. But as that chosen y-axis becomes closer and closer to parallel to AB, the arc of the parabola from A to B becomes closer and closer to the segment AB. This shows that any point on the opposite side of the segment AB from the triangle ABC is not in the interior of every parabola through A, B, and C. Hence, the desired region is simply the triangle defined bu A, B, and C. Since the answer (11,520) from the previous week's Hat Trick problem divided by 1,440 is just 8, the desired area is just ½×(8-1)×4 = 14.
Equal Laterals. From the diagram, we can see that for any interior point P in equilateral triangle T = ABC the area of the entire triangle ABC is equal to the sum of the areas PAB + PBC + PCA = ½sPS + ½sPQ + ½sPR, where s is the side length of the triangle. Since the area of ABC is (√3/4)s², multiplying by 2/s gives us that PS + PQ + PR = (√3/2)s. Since in this case s is 14 (from the previous week's Possible Parabolas), the answer is 7√3.
Isocircules. The diagram shows the situation as described in the problem, with the addition of point M, the midpoint of segment BD. Since by construction arcs BC and CD are equal (being subtended by the two equal angles at A), triangle BDC is isosceles, and triangle BMC is a right triangle. Hence, the ratio BM / BC is equal to cos DBC, and the desired ratio BD / BC is equal to 2cosDBC. Now, angle DBC subtends the same arc as DAC which is the same angle as BAC, so 2cosDBC = 2cosBAC. But by the law of cosines, BC² = AB² + AC² + 2(AB)(AC)cosBAC. Using that AB = AC and dividing out by AB², this gives us that BD / BC = 2cosDBC = 2cosBAC = 2 – BC²/AB² = 2 – (BC/AB)² = 2 – 1/4 = 7/4.
Week 39: 2016 June 11
Phenomenal Packing. As you can see in the diagram, Ariana's boxes have sizes (in decimeters) 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 6, and 7.
Week 40: 2016 June 18
Spiral Notebook. Rather than thinking of them spiraling in the plane, it is easier to think of the two curves as two points on the unit circle, which start at an angle of 0 at time t = 1 and return to that same angle at time t = 10. (In other words, interpret the distance from the origin as time rather than distance. From this point of view, it is obvious that if each point made 1 lap around the circle, since they are going in opposite directions, that they would intersect once. (No more and no less.) Each lap added by either point increases the number of intersections by 1, so with eight and seven laps respectively, the two curves will intersect exactly 14 times.

(On Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston's progression)
"I think the first thing that I think of when I see him play, I think the guy is a terrific competitor. And it just jumps out, his will to extend the play, keep battling, keep fighting. That part I just thought really captured the essence of how hard to play, all that goes into it. I know he has been a weapon when he gets on the move and he can create things on the run, that's for sure there. It was there last year, you see it again. And then I think just his decision making of where to go with the ball, you can see there's not much hesitancy. He's been classically trained there, he knows where to go and how to deliver it. So those are kind of the three things: the competitiveness, his ability to create when a play does break down and then his decision making, about where to go with the ball and the mental quickness that goes along with that."
(On starting the season against a divisional opponent)
"We were just talking this morning about when you get a chance to have a division matchup right off the bat, there's some years that you do that and there's some that you don't, but for us we're thrilled that we do get to do that right off the bat, as I'm sure they are as well. You know the team so well when you play against them twice a year, you have just great information and knowledge and it usually come down to who can execute the plan best. That's usually the case [when] playing a division team. So that's kind of what we expect, we know it's going to be a hard fight, we know it's going to be a battle all the way through. So who can execute all the way through better and do right longer, usually that's what it comes down to in the division games."
(On how he hopes the pass rush performs against Tampa Bay)
"Well we know against like any team, you better make sure the quarterback has to move. We've added some new players since last season. We've added an inside guy in Derrick Shelby and Courtney Upshaw. Courtney played outside [linebacker] in Baltimore, we've actually moved him to a nickel defensive end/defensive tackle - he's got good quickness inside. We've added Dwight Freeney into our group and we'll play him at some nickel end and nickel defensive tackle as well. And then past that, a lot of those groups some played together in the preseason, some not with that group. We haven't shown all the way how we will play, but I like the group, I like the mindset that they're working with and now as we get forward for the season, it's time to put the whole thing together."
(On what he sees from Buccaneers defensive ends Noah Spence and Robert Ayers)
"I think it's significant because it's the get-off that you see. And I certainly know – studying Robert and I've studied Noah through the draft – I know how explosive those two are and you add them to a good group of rushers already. I know they're being trained well by [Defensive Line Coach] Jay [Hayes]. I think it's a good group. They put it on tape that way and it certainly showed up in preseason as well. It's a deep group."
(On what he expects from running back Devonta Freeman)
"He's such a factor for us. He brings a lot to our team, he really does. Not just his ability to run it, but he can honestly play receiver. He's got that kind of ball skills, he's got that kind of quickness when we use him as a weapon that way too, so we're going to use him on all downs. Fortunately for us – much like Tampa, they have good running backs – we have two good ones as well and we're going to use [Tevin] Coleman a good bit too, we've got a nice duo. I think it's the ability of what he has to be a complete player - talking about Freeman - his ability to catch it out of the backfield and make things happen. And then his ability to make cuts. He's a slasher and that's really, when you get a guy in space he can break them off and slash. I think that's probably the biggest attribute for him."
(On Buccaneers Head Coach Dirk Koetter and Defensive Coordinator Mike Smith coming back to Atlanta, where they previously coached)
"We have a lot of respect for both Dirk and for Mike and I know that the players that played for those two do as well. But honestly, that's right in between the white lines. It comes down to the guys and who can execute the plan the best. So it's pretty common place when you see a guy from another team that you've coached or that you know well, whether it's a player or a coach. That takes place pretty often and it's no different this week. Those two guys will know a number of players here, a number of the players here will know them and then past that it kind of gets right back to ball. We did not make a big deal about it, only in the fact that honestly, in between the white lines, it still comes down to the guys."
(On the impact Wide Receiver Coach and former Buccaneers Head Coach Raheem Morris has had on the offense)
"The biggest impact 'Rah' has brought is really a defensive perspective into the offensive meeting room. Where he has such an expertise in coverage and the different techniques and the different styles, you can imagine how valuable that would be to an offensive group. For the receiver group in particular, he has real knowledge of, 'This is how this guy is going to press,' so in other words, looking at it from the other side of the line. That part has been even better than I expected. He's a fantastic teacher. You guys know 'Rah' well just from covering the team through the years there. He still has the same energy, just like he did as a head coach there and on the defensive staff. He still brings that same juice and energy. We've got a very deep receiver group and they play with a lot of toughness and it's no surprise that Raheem has a big part in that."
(On how he thinks former Atlanta offensive coordinator and current Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter will do as a head coach in the NFL)
"I think Dirk will do a great job. He was obviously here in Atlanta for three years. I learned a ton from him. He helped me a ton in my career. I think he – you kind of always know how somebody would transition. He just had the qualities that you would think a good head coach would have. I think he'll do a great job in Tampa and I'm happy for him."
(On what this game means to former Atlanta head coach and current Buccaneers defensive coordinator Mike Smith)
"I don't know how he'll feel – I can't speak for him. I know that I have great respect for Mike. Obviously, more so than anybody, had the biggest impact on my career. He's a hell of a head coach. He'll be a great defensive coordinator. He's going to be tough to go against this weekend, that's for sure. But as far as the emotions, he's a professional. He understands how to get those guys right week-in and week-out. I'm sure he'll be very well-prepared to go against us on Sunday."
(On how it impacted him when Mike Smith was dismissed as the Atlanta head coach)
"Well it's tough. Obviously, we came in together. Mike got hired here in 2008 and I got drafted a couple months later. We were kind of connected at the hip for a long time together. Had a lot of great wins, a lot of fun, a lot of success. Learned a ton about leadership, about what it means to be a professional. [He] has really shaped the way that I view football. He's a really, really smart coach and really, really keen on X's and O's. I learned a ton from him. So that part's tough. Any time you have transition and things change, that's difficult to go through. I really enjoyed my time with Mike and luckily, we replaced him with a great head coach in Dan Quinn. I've been very fortunate to play for two unbelievable head coaches."
(On Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes, who played with Ryan in Atlanta)
"I know Brent is a great player. When he was here – he's probably one of the most athletic people I've ever been around. His ability to cut, change directions, jump – he's got unbelievable ball skills. We know exactly how good he is because we got to see him every day in practice. He can make some unbelievable plays. We certainly have a lot of respect for him. It's a system that he probably knows pretty well. I think it's similar to what he was doing under [former Falcons defensive coordinator] Brian VanGorder and a little bit of [former Falcons defensive coordinator] Mike Nolan, during his time here with the Falcons. I think 'Smitty' [Mike Smith] had his fingerprint a little bit on those defenses. I'm sure he's comfortable in that scheme. We've got to be aware of where he's at, there's no question about it. They've got a lot of really good players on their defensive side. You talk about two really good linebackers and Gerald McCoy in the front four, who has been tough to go against for his entire career. I think it's a very good defense."
(On the impact that assistant head coach/wide receivers coach Raheem Morris has had in his first season working on the offensive side of the ball)
"I think Raheem is a really good football coach. I think Dan [Quinn] showed a lot of confidence in him, moving him from the defensive side of the ball to the offensive side of the ball. I think it shows just how versatile Raheem is, his ability to connect with the guys, understanding offensive and defensive football at a really high level and also giving us a little bit different perspective on the offensive side of the ball. For him having been on the defensive side for so long and understanding how they game plan and they see things, it's a good perspective to have for us. So I think he's done a great job."
(On opening the season with an NFC South opponent)
"Opening games are always – there's a little extra buzz to it, for whatever reason. In the stadiums – even players, it's your first time out there for real, so there's always something to that. In division, it's always big because they know us really well, we know them really well and I think always in those kinds of games, those kinds of situations, it comes down to players making plays. I think everybody will have their minds right on both sides and we've got to go out there and make as many plays as we can make to help us win."

Russell Hobbs 6-in-1 blender and Nutella Cheesecake
I enjoying cooking the problem is that I very rarely get the chance so when the chance to try out the Russell Hobbs 6-in-1 blender I thought this was my chance to set some time aside to give it a test and I also get to make something yummy.
So what can this kitchen gadget do? Well, it is a 600W multi-functional hand blender with food processor attachment and can do 6 functions in one including processing, creaming, slicing, shredding, blending and whisking.
Here is also a little video for you to see its full capabilities.
The idea was to create a recipe using this and for inspiration, they send me a link to a recipe by Nigella Lawson called Nutella Cheesecake well once I saw that I have to give it a try. So here we go.
- 250 grams digestive biscuits
- 75 grams soft unsalted butter
- 1 x 400 grams jar Nutella (at room temperature)
- 100 grams chopped toasted hazelnuts
- 500 grams cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 60 grams icing sugar (sifted)
What to do
- Break the digestive biscuits into the bowl of the processor, add the butter and a tablespoon of Nutella, and blitz until it starts to clump.
- Add 3 tablespoons of the hazelnuts and continue to pulse until you have a damp, sandy mixture.
- Tip into a 9inch round springform and press into the base either using your hands or the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge to chill.
- Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and then add the remaining Nutella to the cream cheese mixture, and continue beating until combined.
- Take the springform out of the fridge and carefully smooth the Nutella mixture over the base. Scatter the remaining chopped hazelnuts on top to cover and place the tin in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight.
- Serve straight from the fridge for best results.
In the end, it was an easy recipe made even easier with a kitchen gadget that done it all. The
Russell Hobbs 6-in-1 blender
has an RRP of £64.99 and is well worth the investment.
We were sent this item for the purpose of this post, all thoughts and opinions are our own.

Is Baby Diapers An Important Issue?
2 Responses to "Is Baby Diapers An Important Issue?"
visiting baby moon's blog!
Hey mommy moon, just to clear some fact that even with cloth diapers (the modern type not lampin), if you want a last longer between change of diapers and a stay dry experience with newborn, you can always doubled the insert with cloth diaper and put a fleece liner on top of the diapers, so much easy and convenient as well.
I agree disposable is convenient but think of the chemical that stick on boy's bum just not right. (If you ever saw the jelly that stick on yr girl's bum, that is the chemical.) Especially new born who has sensitive and delicate skin are highly recommend to use cloth then diaposal. With cloth diaper, my boy rarely had any rashes experience. And what my main purpose is to save $$.
Anyway, about your ebook, I will see if I can help you in anything. But I never travel far with wawa. Will see ya. =)

From disparities in our classrooms to bias in our criminal justice system and environmental inequality to the racial wealth gap, it is clear that equal opportunity and protection under the law do not exist for all Oregonians. What can those with power—including social, financial, and legal capital—do to mend deep-rooted inequality today and in the future? Join us November 15 in Portland for a conversation on race, power, and justice with Eric K. Ward and Rukaiyah Adams.
This event will take place from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Alberta Rose Theatre, 3000 NE Alberta St., Portland. Snacks and conversation will follow the program. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and minors are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
General admission tickets are $10; no-cost tickets are available. Advance tickets for Think & Drink are sold out. We expect a small number of tickets will be available at the door. The conversation will be streamed live here and on YouTube.
About Our Guests

Originally from Los Angeles, he attended Lane Community College and the University of Oregon and began his civil rights career at a time when the white nationalist movement was engaged in violent paramilitary activity that sought to undermine democratic governance in the Pacific Northwest. He worked to expose and counter hate groups and establish task forces focused on human rights and anti-violence throughout the Northwest. Most recently a program officer for the Ford Foundation, Ward returned to Oregon in 2017 to lead Western States Center, a Portland-based nonprofit that works with leaders in the West to harness regional advocacy to reduce inequality and advance opportunity.
Rukaiyah Adams is chief investment officer of Meyer Memorial Trust. She serves on the board of directors of Oregon Public Broadcasting and as chair of the Oregon Investment Council, the board that manages approximately $90 billion for the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund. She is a driving force of Albina Vision, an effort to develop a new, inclusive neighborhood in Portland's Rose Quarter, where the majority-Black community of Albina existed before it was razed to build Memorial Coliseum.

In the last couple of episodes in our special series commemorating 120 years of Olympics, we have focused on a few ladies who have beaten stereotypes to emerge champions. Coming to the Indian context, it took 53 years since independence for a female athlete to have our first individual medal. As such in this episode we celebrate our women medal winners, particularly our first heroine at an Olympic podium – Karnam Malleswari.
In 2000 at the Sydney Games, Malleswari brought laurels to her nation by clinching a bronze medal in the 69 kg light heavyweight category in weightlifting. It was the only silver lining in an otherwise disappointing Olympics for the nation which failed to see another podium finish at the Australian spring. The weightlifter from Srikakulam situated at the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh was in great touch at the Sydney Games. Not only was she barely in a medal contention, but she looked well poised for a gold as she lifted weights ranging 105-110 kg in the snatch and about 125-130 kg in the clean-and-jerk.
In the final round, it looked that the three-time bronze medalist at World Championships needed to lift 132.5 kg in the clean-and-jerk to emerge winner. But due to some miscalculations on part of her coach, Malleswari – who even is rumoured to have lifted weights much higher than that mentioned in practice sessions – failed in lifting the erroneously calculated weight of 137.5 kg. Had she tried for the required, corrected weight which was 5 kg as less as what she actually attempted, who knows she would have fetched the country's first individual gold?
However, a bronze was still all welcome from a nation which had never been a sporting force to reckon with. Malleswari who was an Asian champion back in the mid-1990s tried to go for a second Olympic medal at Athens four years hence. But the then 29-year old weightlifter failed in her first snatch of 100 kg in the middleweight event comprising athletes under 63 kg weight category. The only displacement that she could cause to the barbells was a few inches from the ground before releasing them and straight headed towards the medical room. Later, she was diagnosed having a back sprain.
Though Malleswari never competed at the Games from that point, she is still remembered as the first Indian female athlete to win a medal at the Games. She had path-breaking achievements in Indian weightlifting scenario. Such was her domination that she was awarded the highest State sports award – the Rajeev Gandhi Khel Ratna – in 1995, which is some five years before she could go on to win an Olympic bronze.
The Iron girl of Andhra Pradesh – as she is fondly called as – opened the doors for many Indian girls later representing the nation at the Olympics. But none came to win a podium finish or reach as close as Malleswari with the star herself blaming it on the apathy and internal politics of the Federation.
Beyond weightlifting, Malleswari inspired Indian women athletes to do what P T Usha could not do at Los Angeles. Without an iota of doubt, she must have been a source of motivation for the duo of Saina Nehwal (badminton) and Mary Kom (boxing) to win a bronze at the London Games in 2012.
Saina Nehwal in a way was lucky to win a medal in the bronze medal play-off against Wang Xin of China while the latter pulled out due to strain at a point when the Chinese still had the lead. However, it would be harsh to be critical of the Hyderabad-based shuttler who topped her Group in the initial stage and was clinical till her semi-final loss against the then Chinese world no. 1 Wang Yihan. The medal was, all the more, sweeter for Saina who as an 18-year old fell to an Indonesian shuttler at the quarters back in the Beijing Games.
On the other hand, Manipur boxer Mary Kom however assured herself of a place in the podium the moment she made it to the last four – in boxing both the losing semi-finalists are awarded with bronze at the Olympics. It was maiden Olympic appearance for the five-time world champion and a mother of two at London as boxing was introduced to the ladies for the very first time. Though she mainly won her world titles competing in the weight categories in the mid-40s, she clearly showed her intent to win an Olympic medal while putting on the extra kilos to make herself qualify for the 51-kg group at the Olympics when the International Federation eliminated the lower weight classes from the Games. She qualified for the Olympics via a commendable show at the Worlds earlier that year in the upgraded weight rank.
Hope to see a few Indian female athletes returning from Rio Olympics with medals, if possible a historic gold!

I Want My Routine Back!/
Most people would love to be in San Francisco on a beautiful day for a convention. Especially a video games convention. Not me, to be honest. Not after nearly 15 years of conventions and conferences spanning the automotive, consumer electronics, entertainment and video games industries.
I love the video games industry, don't get me wrong. I really do! I'm truly passionate about the creativity and innovation within the space, but most of all I love the energy associated with a group of young people changing daily how the world perceives this electric, eclectic art form (yes, it's an art). I participated in a panel discussion addressing some of these points and many others today during the convention itself.
So while I love the video games industry, I've arrived at a place in life where I love my lady, sleep, nutrition and exercise even more. My routine. And conventions aren't exactly conducive to a healthy routine. Or at least my slightly obsessive routine during the past several months. Fortunately, today was an off-day in my training cycle so it was easier to have a "normal" convention day filled with mediocre food, loud noise, standing on my feet all day and partying later than normal. The convention routine, in other words. Tomorrow, it's back to the training grind. I'll try to cram in an hour time-trial run along with an hour of yoga while trying to catch a flight home and wrapping up morning sessions at the conference. Not exactly sure where I'm going to find the time to fit everything in but it's really not an option. With just about 10 days to go until the LA Marathon, I simply cannot miss a day of running from here until the race.
I remember just a few years ago how eager I was to take business trips all over the world. And I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity many times over. Now, I just want to stay home and maintain my training routine. Is that wrong? Am I old now? Is this what lame feels like?
I don't know, and I don't really care. I've been on the road for not even three days and it feels like a week. I want my routine back!
I love you, San Francisco, but get me out of here! Get me home!
257 days and counting.

Feld, 83 years young, reminisces about his Jarchow Camp in Matchwood, Michigan over four generations and the past 78 years. He says his love for hunting and camaraderie inspired him to write this book which differs slightly from his other two books.
Feld's early books were "My Compass Points North" and "A Return to the North". The new book "That's The Way It Yoosta Was" includes dozens of classic photos with some dating back nearly 100 years ago.

Android Oreo has arrivedDuring the solar eclipse, Android unveiled its new operating system at a viewing party in Manhattan. We went and checked it out.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1. [MUSIC] It's official, Androids latest version is named Oreo. Google unveiled the secret name behind Android O on Thursday timed right with the solar eclipse during an event in New York. Right after the eclipse hit its peak, the newest Android statue opened up to reveal a caped Oreo. Oreo will be bringing along some sweet updates with it like faster speed, better battery life and more security It will also be when it gets new features like picture and picture, and improved copy and paste and better notifications. And if you want an app asap, there's a new feature called instaapp that lets you access a fair-bones version of it without having to download it. If you miss Android's blob emojis, then Oreo isn't for you. There's a whole new set of emojis coming in, and it spells the end for Google's old blob icons. Android Oreo's expected to roll out on all compatible devices before the end of 2017, but there's no specific date yet on when users will get the update.

Somebody posted a comment I read on a website that if it's not okay for Rachel Dolezal to be accepted as a black woman, how if Bruce Jenner accepted as a woman?
I still haven't heard a good answer yet.
I still haven't heard a good answer yet.
NY Daily News reports two years after she was revealed to be a white woman pretending to be black, Rachel Dolezal is unable to find work and lives off food stamps — but she still believes she did nothing wrong."I'm not going to stoop and apologize and grovel and feel bad about it," she told the Guardian. "I would just be going back to when I was little, and had to be what everybody else told me I should be — to make them happy."The former NAACP leader, who stepped down from the position in Spokane, Washington amid scandal, was outed in June 2015 when her parents, Larry and Ruthanne, revealed she was not actually black.

Here's the deal. Both Rachel Dolezal and Bruce Jenner have mental illness. But, only half of our society sees half the story.

Monks Risborough
The old village is built in a rough rectangle at the foot of the Chilterns. Some of the cottages date from the 16th century, and to the joy of artists and photographers, many are still thatched. Among them is the old saddler's house where skins were tanned for working. The straight walk down the garden was used for stretching and twisting ropes, and the present owner still remembers, in her youth, helping with the stuffing of pillows for traditional lace making.
A pathway alongside one of the cottages leads to the 12th century church, dedicated to St Dunstan. Above the outer door of the porch is portrayed a pair of blacksmith's tongs converging on a face roughly carved in wood, illustrating how St Dunstan was reputed to have overcome the devil. This story is also reflected in a lead and fibreglass sculpture, complete with genuine Irish tinker-tongs, on the south aisle wall, made by a local sculptor in 1971.
Beyond the church, in a field which is now a children's playing field, there is a square stone dovecot, whose existence gave rise to the popular legend that an Abbey once stood here, but no evidence has been found to substantiate this.
In the Domesday Book there is a record of a watermill at Monks Risborough; and now, though the water-wheel has long since disappeared and the millponds are filled, a millhouse still exists on the site where the original mill must once have stood.
The parish boundaries enclose four other villages; Whiteleaf, Askett, Meadle and Cadsden. Whiteleaf, or Whitecliff, contains several Tudor cottages and straggles along a metalled stretch of the Upper Icknield Way. Its name derives from the cliffrlike appearance of the large cross cut in the chalk face of the escarpment. The first mention of this cross seems to have been made in the early 19th century in one of the Enclosure Acts, when it was referred to as 'This Ancient Landmark'.
Near the village centre is the Whitecross hall which forms a link between all five villages. It was erected in 1924 by the Monks Risborough W.I. on land given to them by a local property owner.
Cherry pie feast is an annual celebration at the Plough Inn in Lower Cadsden. It was first established to commemorate the death of John Hampden, who lived not far away, and died of his wounds at Thame in 1643, during the Civil War.
For the rest; the villagers entertain themselves, or are entertained at a variety of fetes, rummage sales, classes, bazaars and socials; or simply by walking over the valley and hills along the beautiful footpaths, with which Monks Risborough is so bountifully provided.
Meadle is now a hamlet home mainly to commuters who want to enjoy the countryside. There are several old cottages, some thatched by a local man, in an area which was a thriving farming community. Aylesbury ducks were bred for sale in the London markets.
Long ago Meadle was associated with the Quakers when a Friends Meeting Place was established in the 15 th century known as the House of John White.

The Jerusalem Post reports: African nations are willing and ready to develop and expand their diplomatic and business relations with Israel, a spokesman for the ruling political party in the Ivory Coast said on Wednesday.
Joel N'guessan, an official in the Rally of the Republicans party, headed by Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara, said in Jerusalem on Wednesday that the historical cause of the rupture in relations between Israel and African states was a result of political pressure imposed on them by Arab countries who dominated the Islamic world in the 20th century.
Today, as that influence has waned, Israel is in a position to expand its diplomatic relations with African countries, but Jerusalem must show its intent by investing in the continent, he said.
"In order for Israel to be supported by African countries in the UN, it is important for Israel not only to restore diplomatic relations with Africa, but there must be within Israel an evolution of a diplomatic effort to create investment in Africa," said N'guessan.
The official spoke during a press conference at the annual Feast of Tabernacles at the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, which has brought numerous government officials to Israel for the festival, along with 5,000 Christian pilgrims.

Red, White — and You
The liberties and freedoms of United States citizens are currently under attack
Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands at a distance;
for truth stumbles in the public square,
and uprightness cannot enter (Isaiah 59:14, NRSV).
America began her week with massive, joyful crowds celebrating a land of liberty and common purpose, but ended the week with a wrenching realization of just how deep are the divisions still among us.
"Courts of justice are corrupt. Rulers are actuated by desire for gain and love of sensual pleasure. Intemperance has beclouded the faculties of many so that Satan has almost complete control of them. Jurists are perverted, bribed, deluded. Drunkenness and revelry, passion, envy, dishonesty of every sort, are represented among those who administer the laws. 'Justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.' Isaiah 59:14."[1]
In case no one has filled you in, you really ought to know: the liberties and freedoms of United States citizens are currently under attack by the greatest and most cunning conspiracy in the republic's 240-year history. The media are in on it. Governments—Federal, state, and local—are implicated. Politicians, entertainers and the judges are participants. Police are actors in the drama. Churches and even charities are included. Hollywood is fully engaged. Beyoncé is in on it. The governors of Minnesota and Louisiana are affected, as is the police chief of Dallas.
Are you?
What's really going on and what great powers are behind it? Why does it feel as though the land of the free took a pivotal turn for the worse this week?
I believe the United States is the most blessed nation to ever appear on this planet. It was founded by a document that drew on the principles of freedom of conscience and personal liberty taught in the Bible. It was, in Lincoln's immortal words, "conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Sadly, though, just as Bible prophecy predicted America's rise and growth as a lamb-like beast of peace and prosperity, it foretold her final transformation and fall as a dragon-like power intent on subjugating those it had promised to protect. Revelation 13:11 describes this nation as having two horns like a lamb and [speaking] like a dragon."Scripture makes a plain case that when a nation speaks, it does so through its laws – through its judicial system.
During this sad, frustrating week, we had daily reminders that Isaiah's lament—"Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands at a distance"—is being live-streamed in the chaotic images emerging from Baton Rouge, St. Paul, and Dallas.
Are you angry? I am. Are you frustrated?
So am I.
Is there any hope for the sickness that seems pervasive? Perhaps.
The great temptation of the moment is to pick a side—a cause, a race, a color, an ideology—and join the fray.
But wait just a moment.
A Bigger Picture
When we step back—even a little—from the drama of the "BREAKING NEWS"—from the heart-sickening images of violence against the helpless and violence against those who try to protect the helpless, we begin to understand that the darkness we are wrestling with is part of a bigger and more complex picture.
A century ago, a woman gifted with special insight wrote these words:
"In the word of God the curtain is drawn aside, and we behold, above, behind, and through all the play and counterplay of human interest and power and passions, the agencies of the All-merciful One, silently, patiently working out the counsels of His own will. . . ."[2]
In the ancient book of Revelation, written nearly 2000 years ago, we find the cords that draw the curtains back, allowing us to see the great conspiracy that long predates the founding of these United States or even the principles of republican government.
Through a vivid series of violent, chaos-bringing beasts, John the apostle, Jesus' beloved disciple, pictures for us the succession of great world powers that participate in a diabolical attempt to stamp out the truth of God and the freedoms with which God has gifted each human being. Intent on dominating both the lives and the minds of human beings in every culture and era, these powers strengthen and support each other with cunning, deception, and brute physical force.
In John's dramatic account of his vision, recorded in Revelation 13, he sees the great tyrannical power of the Middle Ages—the Christian Church, apostatized from the peaceful religion of Jesus into a religious and political empire—handing on its power to a new beast—one that has "two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon." This is not merely a prophetic indication that another great power would arise after the Roman Catholic papacy: it is an explicit reminder that the newer power would"[exercise] all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and it makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast" (Rev 13:11).
The "Lamb-Like Beast"
For more than 200 years, thoughtful interpreters of Bible prophecy across many denominations and faith groups have identified the United States as that power that would begin with the qualities of a lamb but end by becoming yet another persecuting power aligned against God's people. A nation that saw itself as the great counterpoint to religious persecution, and actually enshrined freedom of conscience in its founding documents, would nonetheless descend to a point in which the blood-bought principles of justice and liberty would become secondary to its desire to control and enforce conformity.
According to Scripture, all people—black, white, Latino, Asian, the powerless, the powerful, those oppressed and those oppressing—are themselves affected by a conspiracy bigger than any one historical moment, reaching across centuries, and challenging the very heart of God's plan to rescue human beings from the results of their own mistakes.
Are we now witnessing the beginnings of that breakdown of personal liberties and the rule of law?
The events of this past week build a powerful argument that we are.
I believe the societal tension so unavoidable this week in the United States—and around the globe—is just what the Scriptures predicted as the final events of earth's history begin to unfold. The tectonic plates are moving, and not only along the "Ring of Fire." Nations, governments, institutions, people groups are being stirred by forces they may not even fully recognize, but that are nonetheless moving all of them toward a great, final cataclysm focused on loyalty to God.
These United States are being divided, both consciously and unconsciously, by a force intent on obliterating the principles of liberty and conscience on which this nation was founded. People groups, faith groups, and denominations are being divided, diabolically encouraged by the violence and hate into abandoning the covenant of trust and tolerance on which our society was originally constructed.
Witness the outpouring of grief and frustration on social media in the last four days as millions express their helplessness about a disintegration they feel powerless to stop.
It's tempting for many in this moment to pick a side—identify with one's race or clique or economic group—to the disparagement of others. This is just how hate compounds: it feeds on itself, creating even more isolation and distrust.
Or we can rise above this engineered crisis and see in God's Word that we are, in fact, embroiled in a larger struggle than any one incident or one week of terrible headlines might suggest.
Let me be clear: the events of the last week—terrible, senseless, destructive—aren't only the random bits of social disintegration they may seem to be. Don't be fooled into thinking that once the investigations are completed, the rule of law restored, the victims compensated, and the perpetrators punished, that we will go back toward what we used to describe as "normal." Don't be fooled into thinking it's the elephants against the donkeys, black against white, the haves against the have-nots.
It's a bigger conflict than we knew. It's light against darkness.
The likelihood of our children living in that land that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, pictured in his soaring rhetoric seems even more remote after this week--"a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Our hope for a better tomorrow in the United States—or in any nation—doesn't ultimately change the trajectory of the unfolding tragedies we've witnessed this week in the shootings of #AltonSterling and #PhilandoCastile along with the police officers in Dallas, or the hanging in Atlanta. These are, as the Bible calls them, "but the beginning of the birth pangs" (Matt 24:8, NRSV).
A Word in Due Season
Is there a word from God to give us some guidance in a time where it feels as though darkness has covered the earth and gross darkness the people?
Ellen White doesn't sugar coat or minimize the causes that have led to this state of things, or attempt to deflect us from where they are surely leading. She wrote these words 35 years after America's great convulsion of the Civil War:
"In India, China, Russia, and the cities of America, thousands of men and women are dying of starvation. The monied men, because they have the power, control the market. They purchase at low rates all they can obtain, and then sell at greatly increased prices. This means starvation to the poorer classes, and will result in a civil war.
There will be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation. "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book.... Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand."[3]
Make no mistake, all of the events we are witnessing are leading somewhere. And it's not by simple chance they appear to be intensifying.
"...Anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution—all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France."[4]
If the chaotic and violent events of revolutionary France in the 1790s are what the prophet foresaw yet coming on a global scale, then we have every reason to expect more weeks like this last one—even as we work with heart and soul and mind to keep events like these from reoccurring. We aren't called to passivity in the face of great evil, but to forestall it, defend the helpless, insist on justice for the oppressed, protect all who must be protected. Through all of what must be our enduring commitment to building justice where we can, we stay conscious of the apostle Paul's realism: "For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places" (Eph 6:12, NRSV).
There is, however, good news, for those who put their faith and trust in Jesus more than in any social compact or national identity. The Lord who is Himself observing this great, titanic struggle will yet move to save, redeem, and bless: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it" (John 1:5, NRSV). He Himself gave us the reassurance that He will yet act to rescue all that now seems to be falling apart.—"that when these things come to pass, you may know that I am He" (Luke 21:28).
According to the Word of God, America the beautiful has a terminal illness. The flag of freedom--the Red, White and Blue--that for so long symbolized the ideals of freedom and justice, but certainly not always their reality for all--can already be seen fading into the angry hues of hate speech, divisive political rhetoric, acts of violence, and the unjust inconsistencies of our judicial system. We have no reason from God's Word to expect a restored national order or a return to the fictional placidity of what we call the "olden days."
As we wait on the brink of the greatest convulsion this nation and this world has ever known--the "time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation" predicted in God's Word, my prayer is that the Spirit of God begins a stirring in your life that anchors you firmly in His will even "though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea" (Psalm 46:2, NRSV).

On Friday morning the 35th Shades of the Past Hot Rod Roundup kicked off at Dollywood Splash Country under sunny, blue skies. For most Hot Rod Roundup veterans it was the best weather of many years. This event has become a must-attend rod run for folks east of the Mississippi. The addition of the Street Rodder Triple Crown of Rodding presented by Painless Performance Products has taken the Pigeon Forge event to a new level. The high quality of the vehicles on display at "Shades" is what makes this event special. The judging area was filled to the brim on Friday. The vendor area and swap meet were popular destinations on both Friday and Saturday. By Friday at 4 p.m. the Top 25 winners were announced along with the specialty awards.
Saturday was another picture-perfect day. All of the winning vehicles were put on display around the Splash Country pools and waterfalls. It gave everyone a chance to get a close look at the incredible workmanship that went into these special cars and trucks. By midafternoon folks began to gather around the pool area in Splash Country. At 4:30 the awards program began and all of the winners were introduced to the crowd. The Triple Crown of Rodding winners were announced along with the winners of the huge 50/50 raffle and the roadster giveaway. It was a perfect wrapup to a perfect event. It was also the wrapup of the ARP/Street Rodder Shades of the Past Road Tour. Beginning in Charlotte over Labor Day weekend it continued on to Pigeon Forge and it was a fantastic week of fun with rods.
Make plans to join us in 2018 on the Shades of the Past Road Tour as we spend Labor Day weekend in Nashville, Tennessee, and then head to Pigeon Forge to attend what has become one of the coolest events in the country.

Make Believe
by Sleepy Tea
EP: The Place Where We Lay (2013)
We saw Sleepy Tea supporting Emma Louise on Friday night at the Powerhouse and while I'm not completely sold (yet?) on their brand of indie dream pop - think Angus and Julia Stone vs Crystal Fighters - there's no denying the breezy charms of 'Make Believe.' I'm assuming the recorded version, much like the live performance, features the vocal talents of former Charlie Mayfair/current Emma Louise keys and backing singer Hannah Shepherd. It's always a pleasure to hear her haunting voice, even if it's a fairly brief cameo alongside Sleepy Tea's Tom. Not Turbo Tom... that's the guitarist. I think. I wouldn't be surprised if Triple J gets firmly behind 'Make Believe.' It's a song that's certain to resonate with a lot of people. Likeable lyrics, an engaging vocal performance and "sweet-ass electronics moments" (their words) make this one a winner. Potentially one of Australia's next big things on the music scene.
Sun Blows Up Today
by Flaming Lips
Wayne's decision to hang out with Ke$ha a fair bit lately seems to have rubbed off on his musack, for 'Sun Blows Up Today' would have to be the most poptacular Flaming Lips song to date. You know what though? That's not an insult in any way. 'Sun Blows Up Today' is all guitars and singalong lyrics, it's ridiculously catchy and it's a welcome return from the Flaming Lips. It's for a Super Bowl car advertisement or something, so it isn't an official track for their upcoming album, The Terror. If this is the direction they're taking though, I'm sold. Don't you want to get up and dance and shout and dance and be merry with The Flaming Lips?
by Lady Antebellum
Album: TBA (2013)
Aren't these the same guys and gal that did the modern, kinda cool country ballad 'Need You Now?' Where did that Lady Antebellum go? I'm going to be honest, it's been forever and a day since we've reviewed anything country (Taylor Swift is a relationship drama-based genre of her own now) and I saw Lady Antebellum had a new song out and I thought it could be kind of cool and progressive and all country music is the music of pain good, but I was wrong. So that's why we're talking about 'Downtown.' Just so you know.
Matt Bond gives 'Downtown' two Taylor Swift's out of five...
Full of Fire
by The Knife
Album: Shaking The Habitual (5 April, 2013)
Oh... ok. Well, I LOVE the song. Yep.
Matt Bond gives the 'Full of Fire' video two Ke$ha's out of five...

At the British Consul General's residence in LA, the doors were open and the well-lit dining room was graciously opened to the media. As we were ushered into the dining room, there was a mouth-watering spread of desserts on the pristine white table cloth.

Next Up: Prince William and Her Majesty the Queen's favourite -- Chocolate Biscuit Cake!
And then there was the traditional chocolate birthday cake that was served. Mind you, Chef McGrady and the rest of the Royal Chefs never wrote "Your Majesty" or any other name on the cake. It was always signed and served simply, "Happy Birthday".

Use Grapefruit seed extract to gargle or take a few drops in water or juice. Also use as a mouthwash, facial and nail cleanser, skin rinse and household cleanser. Ideal for travelling. Not suitable for citrus allergy sufferers. See label for suggested intake and usage.
Vegetable glycerine, Citricidal Grapefruit seed extract (34%), (contains Grapefruit extractives, glycerine, vitamin C).
No added: Sugar, salt, starch, soya, wheat, gluten, maize/corn, yeast, lactose, dairy products, artificial preservatives, colours or flavourings.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
According to the manufacturers it's fine, but they recommend starting on a low dosage if pregnant (we suggest about half the dosage on the label) and build up to the normal dosage over a couple of weeks.
Is Citricidal safe?
Here is a statement from the suppliers on this question:
There is a lot of information online regarding adulterated Citricidal and Grapefruit seed Extracts, especially with substances like Benzalkonium Chloride and Benzethonium Chloride, but also with Triclosan, and other substances. However, all our Grapefruit Seed Extract batches of raw materials come with a full certificate of analysis from the manufacturer, stating that they are free from Benzalkonium Chloride, Benzethonium Chloride, Triclosan, heavy metals, chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides, PCBs, Propyl Hydroxybenzoate, Methyl Hydroxybenzoate and arsenic.
During the processing into Citricidal products (Citricidal Liquid and Citricidal Tablets) no contaminants or pollutants are introduced into the product. Unfortunately the proceedure is proprietary and cannot be disclosed.

Latest news on Obamacare:
Narrow Networks - Some customers of the new insurance exchanges may be surprised at the "narrow network" included in their insurance coverage.
Narrow networks have a limited list of approved provider and will likely make out-of-network treatment difficult if not impossible.
This is just now hitting the news, a few days before the exchanges begin operations.
Private Exchanges - The concept of health insurance exchanges is being adopted by employers looking for cheaper coverage and fewer hassles, putting employees into private exchanges managed by various consultants and facilitators.
It is too early to judge the scope of this innovation, but it could become a very large factor in employer provided health insurance.

Latest Obamacare Confusion
Obamacare is complicated. ACA is a very complex plan with numerous phase-ins cluttered with multiple implementation delays.
The latest confusion involves employer notification requirements.
The employer insurance mandate has been DELAYED UNTIL 2014
The employer notice of the existence of health insurance exchanges is still in place October 1, 2013.
It gets worse.
Small employers (below the 50 FTE threshold) not required to provide insurance ARE REQUIRED to send the notices to employees on or before October 1st, and are required to give notices to new employees with 14 days of the start date. Large employers are also required, as they should know.
Any employer covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (overtime and minimum) wage is subject to the requirement, effectively just about every employer in the country.
The requirement will be enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor, and although opinions vary it is best to assume a daily penalty for failure to comply.

Sixty miles of prime spawning ground in the Napa River and its tributaries are now open.
On Friday, representatives from the county and environmental groups celebrated the completion of a $1 million project that eliminated a concrete apron under the Zinfandel Lane bridge. The apron was blocking Chinook salmon and steelhead trout from swimming upstream to their preferred spawning grounds.
Over the years, erosion formed a ledge and the jump necessary to get upstream became so daunting that all but the very strongest fish were stranded on the downstream side.
"A lot of Chinook salmon would spawn just downstream, right on top of each other," said Jonathan Koehler, a fish biologist from the Napa County Resource Conservation District whom officials credited with bringing the barrier to the county's attention about seven years ago.
"I have video of fish bashing their heads against the old concrete apron," he said. "It was heartbreaking."
The new passageway is "not even going to be a blip on their radar screen," Koehler said.
The barrier also interfered with younger fish swimming downstream toward the ocean, said Rick Thomasser, watershed and flood operations manager for the county.
The new structure, completed in October, includes a fishway, a bypass channel and a trough to dissipate the energy of the water and prevent downstream erosion.
Sam Schuchat, executive director of the California Coastal Conservancy, said the Napa River was recently identified as one of eight "anchor watersheds" for Chinook and steelhead in the Bay Area.
"This project frees up 50 percent more habitat for fish," he said. "So it's a lot of bang for our fish buck."
The project was financed by county Measure A funds, a $400,000 grant from the California Coastal Conservancy, and design and engineering funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Gasser Foundation.
The county will monitor fish passage and spawning behavior to verify that the fish are using the new passage.
The project should also please history buffs interested in preserving the Zinfandel Lane bridge, which was built in 1913.
Geotechnical studies raised doubts about the stability of the bridge's central pier, Thomasser said. So in addition to the fishway and bypass channel, an underwater cutoff wall was installed to tie the pier into the bedrock and prevent erosion from destabilizing the bridge.
"We got a two-fer here," said District 3 Supervisor Diane Dillon. "We got wonderful fish passage and we helped this old bridge."
Dillon thanked vintner and vineyard manager Davie Pina for championing river restoration on behalf of landowners, and Kohler for identifying the barrier and working on a solution.
The bridge apron was the most serious fish barrier in the watershed, but the county is seeking funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to fix another 20 barriers, said Leigh Sharp, executive director of the Napa County Resource Conservation District.
In addition to the $400,000 grant for the Zinfandel Lane bridge project, Schuchat announced that staff from the California Coastal Conservancy will ask their board for another $1 million for further restoration work along the Napa River.
Officials planted eight oak trees along the eastern bank of the river to commemorate the project's completion.

So you are looking into shopping for a basketball jersey of some kind? Well I hope this article will help you to greater recognize a number of the purposes of purchasing one particular for the reason that no one just goes out and buys a basketball jersey with out any form of objective, and if they do.. Well anything will have to not be proper. This does not just go for basketball jerseys although; it applies to practically something when you are going out to make a acquire.
When I was younger, one of the greatest motives that I wanted a basketball jersey was to fit in. It seemed like everybody else had one and I was the only 1 that did not. It wasn't so much about supporting the group or player, but to match in. I know we are all taught not to worry about that type of stuff, but what kid doesn't wish to fit in? Anyway, when I got my initial jersey, it was Ben Wallace's #3 from when he played for the Detroit Pistons. I wasn't excited regarding the fact that I had a Ben Wallace jersey as I was about the truth that I felt like I belonged.

So possibly that's not your goal, possibly you have grown out of that stage and just need to assistance the player/individual or the group. After you invest in a college basketball jersey, a lot more occasions than not it's to help the group due to the fact pretty handful of are sold using the players' names on the back. College basketball players play for the name around the front of their jerseys and skilled basketball players appear to play for the name around the back in spite of what they say. At the end from the day, the skilled player gets a paycheck plus the college athlete does not. Around the flip side, when someone goes out at buys an NBA jersey, they're supporting the player and not so much the team. I might be wrong about that in some circumstances, but plenty of instances that may be the truth.
Okay, you happen to be not buying it for oneself, but as a present. When parents go out and purchase a basketball jersey, odds are that they are acquiring it to get a youngster who loves the sport or maybe a specific player. And from time to time a pal can buy a basketball jersey for one more buddy.
For the ultimate basketball fan, you could possibly just be acquiring a basketball jersey to collect them with out any intention of ever wearing them. Every person that collects some sort of apparel knows that the additional you wear it, the far more it decreases in worth and what exactly is the point of collecting some thing with no worth? Once again, that's my opinion, but it really is not far off from the truth.

|Britney's last stand... on this countdown.
This could be my favourite post of the entire countdown. Well, the songs aren't my favourite (clearly, or they'd be the top 10 no?), but the post get extra props for being the only one that features a song from every year in the decade. That's right, one song from the year 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Whatever, I think it's cool... here's the songs!
#120 - Hollaback Girl (2005)
by Gwen Stefani
So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack,
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out...
Brian Griffin - "I don't know what a Hollaback Girl is. All I know is that I want her dead." I can't say I feel as strongly as everyone's favourite talking dog, Brian.
#119 - Be Faithful (2000)
by Fatman Scoop and Crooklyn Clan
Engine, engine number nine,
On the New York transit line...
by Goldfrapp
And I was feeling lonely, feeling blue,
Feeling like I needed you...
#117 - Toxic (2004)
by Britney Spears
Britney Spears - Toxic (Music Video)
Uploaded by EnvBritney. - See the latest featured music videos.
You're dangerous, I'm loving it...
Almost crazy Britney. She was my favourite. Disregard my previous comment where I said crazy Britney was my favourite. Sadly, this is the last we'll be seeing of Ms Spears for this countdown.
by Justice
Stick to the B.E.A.T,
Get ready to ignite...
Daft Punk for a new generation, Justice delivered one of the best albums of the decade in (Cross). They've kept it pretty quiet since their 2007 debut, perhaps a little too quiet. Maybe 2011 will see their grand return to the world stage.
#115 - The Blower's Daughter (2002)
by Damien Rice
And so it is, just like you said it would be...
#114 - When You Were Young (2006)
by The Killers
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus,
But he talks like a gentlemen...
The Killers. Their second album, Sam's Town, didn't deliver the sales figures of their debut, but that doesn't mean it was of a lesser quality. In fact, as a whole album it works much better than Hot Fuss. Disagree?
#113 - Daniel (2009)
by Bat For Lashes
I dream of home...
#112 - Ms Jackson (2001)
by OutKast
Uploaded by covik. - See the latest featured music videos.
You could plan a pretty picnic,
But you can't predict the weather...
This one went out to all baby's mamas (mamas) and also went all the way to #1 pretty much everywhere.
#111 - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (2003)
by The Postal Service
The district sleeps alone tonight,
After the bars turn out their lights...

Confused about the title? Don't be, because, "It's been... One week since" I've posted. Also, I've outsourced to that starving poet, Damon, once more, and he's got a batch of sexiness for your eyes' balls. Really. Am I just being lazy? Probably.
"In keeping with the vaguely incestuous elements..." O Ed, I pus.
Great. I ask for sexy, you give me this. This makes me need a drink for all the wrong reasons. "Drink away, buddy. DRINK IT UP."
"There, is that better? Scintillating enough?" Still kind of a downer, though. But I do like it. "There's no pleasing you then. I'll wrap this up with my latest, sexless work."
"I challenge your commenters to analyze and critique the shit out of this one." Sexy. And watch your language, buddy.

A lovingly curated scrapbook biography of the late Nick Drake | Boing Boing
Reposted from http://ift.tt/18w0QNG on January 28, 2015 at 10:29PM
When English singer/songwriter/musician Nick Drake tragically died in 1974 (ironically from an overdose of anti-depressant medication), he was not tremendously well-known. But in death, his hauntingly beautiful compositions have transformed him into a highly influential musical figure who's inspired generations of musical artists. Read the rest
